ingredients
- 4 ounces lobster tails
- 1⁄2 - 1 tablespoon butter
- garlic salt

directions
- Line a broiler pan with foil pressing it into the grooves of the pan.
- Cut a line down the center of the top of the shell (not the underside of shell), stopping just before the tail fins.
- Pull shell apart leaving it intact, and gently pull lobster meat out, cradling it on top of the now opened shell.
- Using a sharp knife, make a small slit down the top of the meat and spread it by running your finger through the lobster meat.
- Fill crevice with butter, then sprinkle with garlic salt, pepper and paprika.
- Broil 3-4 inches from heat for approximately 1 minute per ounce.
- (ie: a 4 oz tail would take about 4 minutes).
- Watch carefully.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I have two teenage children and am very happily married. We live in Southern, Ontario. <br /><br />I live to cook and just love to putter around the kitchen. I enjoy reading all kinds of cookbooks which I borrow from the library or buy second hand. I really like Taste of Home magazine, because the recipes are from ordinary people and aren't too complicated. I also like to read community or church cookbooks because you know that the recipe must be special for someone to share it. <br /><br />I discovered RecipeZaar because it was mentioned by someone in a cooking magazine...now I am hooked. I think it is so helpful to read the reviews and suggestions from others who have tried recipes before me. <br /><br />I always thought of myself as a pretty good cook, but I am learning so much since I have joined RecipeZaar. I really appreciate the ideas and feed back that everyone provides.</p>
